UK driving licences may be endorsed by order of the courts if the driver has been convicted of an offence concerned with driving or operating a vehicle. An endorsement may also be accompanied by a number of points which can remain on the licence for up to 12 years. Drivers who are also a Magistrate may retain their points for a longer period than other drivers. If the total of points on a licence equals or exceeds 12, the courts may decide to ban a driver for a period of time.
